Water cannons in winter weather

What kind of people would soak demonstrators with water cannons in freezing weather?  

I understand that Amnesty International has sent observers to North Dakota to monitor the treatment of Indians, over a hundred of whom have required medical treatment in the last few days.  

Tonight we met Gene Stilp, an attorney from Dauphin County, who is leaving for North Dakota on Thursday along with other lawyers to offer legal services to the Indians.  Tonight the Carbon County Democrats for Progress collected winter coats for the demonstrators.  


These are small gestures in the face of multibillion dollar oil companies, banks, and a new administration that approves of pipeline construction.  We keep on fighting.
